Scott D’Amore Comments on Joe Hendry’s Stardom Rise in Wrestling
A recent episode of the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast featured former TNA Wrestling President Scott D’Amore as the guest. One of the topics discussed included D’Amore’s thoughts about him being happy for Joe Hendry’s current rise in stardom for his wrestling career.
“It’s something that should have happened ages ago but never did. It’s great that it’s happening now. My massive ego loves the fact that I got to be part of starting it. But to be clear, it didn’t happen because of me, it happened because of the right thing. I’m honored to be part of that, and I can look at it and smile. Look, here’s Joe Hendry. Joe grabbed me one day and he goes ‘Scott, Did I ever tell you why I chose to come to IMPACT?’ I’m thinking, he probably did and I don’t remember. I was like, ‘I don’t think so.’ He told me a story. First, he told me a story about he was someplace else, and his music was playing. It’s like, okay, here I am and it was a big moment. His music has a spot where he comes out, and somebody pushed him and said, ‘Go!’ They pushed him out before it was the moment. He’s kind of like, ‘These guys don’t get me.’ Then he goes, ‘In that moment as I went to the ring I thought of an interview you did in the UK years ago.’ I think it was like 2018-19, long before he ended up coming, because he ended up going to Ring of Honor. He goes, ‘You did an interview and they asked you a question about future World Champions, you mentioned Moose, Josh Alexander and Joe Hendry.’ I was like, ‘Oh, so glad I did that.’ He goes, ‘I heard that, and I was like, there’s a guy who gets me.’ He didn’t come then, but then when he became free again, he’s like, ‘Okay, maybe there’s more money for me somewhere else, but right now, I want to go somewhere where there’s people that that get me.’ Let me be clear, it’s not like I was the only one. But that’s the type of stuff that really makes me feel good. The fact that he gambled on coming to us at IMPACT, to TNA, because he trusted us, that we would handle him right. I think we have, and he’s obviously delivered. Those types of things make me happy.”
